Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 361

As the clock ticked, Alice's life was getting more disorganized. Her once perfect life was now the opposite of what it used to be. Everything was crashing before her eyes and there was little or nothing she could do to salvage the situation. Acceptance was something that one cannot choose. And because of this, Alice had no option but to accept Jacob's decision. Long after he left, Alice remained in the restaurant. She was shocked by what just transpired between them.

At that moment, she felt as if Jacob had just discarded her like an old toy that he no longer needed.

Despite the fact that she had loved him, his recent actions made all the feelings she had for him disappear within a second. Love was meant to be reciprocated by both parties involved. Of course, no one would be that stupid to keep on loving someone who didn't love them back. Thinking about how Jacob kept her in the sidelines now, Alice was despaired. In fact, she was in a dilemma!

Just now, when Jacob had mentioned her past, she felt like everything was all over. The man she loved was threatening to use her past against her. That's horrifying! What love? If Jacob loved her, he wouldn't dare to investigate her.

Now it was clear that he no longer had feelings for her. But how? How could he stop loving her?

As these thoughts ran through her mind, Alice's head began to ache. She then clutched it in pain. It was as if hundreds of drums were playing in her head. 'Is the baby a curse or a blessing?' She smiled bitterly with uncertainty written on her face.

'Jacob, this is your fault. You forced me. I hope you won't regret it, ' she thought.

Just then, a new wave of determination filled Alice up. The bitter smile faded from her face. The tears in her eyes also disappeared. This battle hadn't come to an end. On the contrary, this was just the beginning. Jacob always knew how much she loved him.

She reasoned that since he wouldn't reciprocate her love, it was about time she stopped caring about him. Alice was not an understanding woman. She couldn't just sit and watch him be happy with another lady.

All what Jacob had brought her was just unpleasant treatment. This could be likened to the most painful torture in the world and the result of that was much more sorrowful than death.

Alice looked at her phone in a daze. After a few seconds, she picked it up and dialed Thompson's number.

'Will my last ally help me? Is he still in love with Sara till today?' she pondered. All these were unknown.

Nevertheless, Alice still called Thompson. He was her last hope. He was the only person that could connive with her regarding Sara and Jacob's matter.

When she travelled abroad, Thompson had felt sorry for her. 'Would he be happy if he finds out that I'm back now?'

Actually, Alice had dated so many men in her lifetime. She had always thought that Jacob was the only reliable one out of all of them.

But now, it was too late for her to come to terms with all that was happening. The man whom she thought was reliable, now belonged to someone else. He had abandoned her for another woman. And she could only look at him from a distance.

Although Alice wasn't faithful to Jacob, she loved him for a long time. This was probably the longest time she had ever loved someone. Even when he was married to Sara for four years, she still waited for him. Now she was determined to make Jacob regret.

No matter what, she vowed to make Jacob pay for using and dumping her.

She now had a purpose in her life and this meant that she was not yet doomed. As the other end of the line continued to ring, Alice tried to comport herself and hide her emotions. This was so Thompson wouldn't detect anything.

Although, Alice and Thompson were allies, she still remained vigilant at all times. She never let her guard down. This was because she didn't trust him completely. She was afraid that he would betray her someday. To her, Thompson wasn't a trustworthy person.

But in order to defeat Jacob, she kept Thompson as a back-up plan. But it was pointless to do that, because she had nothing to hide. Everything was already in the open.

"Thompson," Alice said immediately he picked up the call. Her voice was a little hoarse. Perhaps this was because she was trying to act calm. Or maybe because she had just cried. Regardless, there was something wrong with her voice. It didn't sound like her normal voice which was usually pleasing to the ears.

"What? What's wrong? Do you want to come back now?" Thompson answered the phone with all seriousness. Actually, he had a frown on his face but Alice couldn't see that.

This had been his habit for so many years. But only a few people knew about it.

Until now, he still had feelings for Sara. He constantly fantasized about having her as his woman. However, Jacob hated him so much that Thompson never dared to provoke him. He was actually scared of incurring his wrath.

Besides, Thompson had a lot of things to deal with lately. His company was passing through a difficult time and it was Jacob that was behind it all. Nevertheless, this didn't make much difference. This was because, he had built his company from scratch so he wouldn't be defeated easily.

Unfortunately, Thompson had to concentrate on this. He had no choice but to solve the issues in his business. Otherwise, it would lead to a huge setback in the future. Thompson was so troubled about his company that he totally forgot about Alice. He had also forgotten about several other frivolities.

On the other hand, Alice didn't have many opportunities to call Thompson. Deep down in her heart, she was a proud woman. Alice was strong-willed and she never gave in easily. She also knew that Thompson wouldn't compromise either.

Just because he was on the same side with her, Thompson thought she was a reliable but incompetent cohort.

"I'm back already. Where are you? I want to see you." Alice tried to hide the distress in her voice, but it didn't take long for it to return to its original state.

She could lower her voice, but she couldn't suppress her emotions. At that instance, Alice felt so betrayed and she wanted to cry. She was feeling a huge lump in her throat. But she refrained herself because she was strong.

"When did you return? What's wrong?" Thompson frowned the more as he asked that question. He wasn't pleased that time had barely passed and things were happening without his knowledge again. He never liked to be left in the dark.

"Nothing. Let's meet and discuss. I want to speak to you about something." Alice supported her head with her hands weakly and worry lines appeared on her forehead. She was clearly disoriented. In fact, her mind was chaotic!

"Okay, sure. I'm at a bar. I'll send you the address." Thompson shook the wine glass in his hand. He was sitting in a quiet private booth located in the bar.
